A List.

»Today was the first snowfall. We were all quite unprepared for it. This includes the school walkways that are slippery when wet, my friend who slipped and fell because of her footwear, and my lack of heavy-weatherproof shoes worried me as well. So I looked into snow boots and being the dapper fellow that I am, this pair satisfies my needs. Although it says it is a "hiking" boot it should do fine to get me around campus dry and not slipping/falling because of lack of traction. Plus, they look fantastic, no?

I also enjoy this pair (probably more so) but they seem like they'd be significantly less functional in the snow.

» This the the only architecture related thing I have to say on this post: there is a blog set up for our specific section. If you care you can look at our work up until now here. (Except for the fact that I'm missing the second half of the assignment on there. But I'm the first post ever so... take a look.)

» I can't wait for Taylor to come up from NYU to visit me! We are going to have massive fun.

» I opened the Urban Outfitters package... I couldn't stand it anymore. In order to preserve some of the birthday magic I had a friend open it for me, and chose one thing for me to have. I did this two days in a row, so now there is only one thing left in there... but I'm okay with this. So far I got new boots and the olive cords I wanted! (Thanks parents!)

» I hadto do the previous actions. I've been sick the past week and I feel terrible and needed to go to the store to get dayquill/nyquill which is overly expensive. I just want to feel slightly better for the swim meet this weekend.

» Vampire Weekend radio on Pandora is amazing. And it occasionally plays Louis Armstrong which is completely acceptable.

"...being the dapper fellow that I am..." That made me smile. My friends and I were talking about the word dapper the other day, and I mentioned that the first person that came to mind at the mention of that word was Darren Criss, but I'm starting to think that you're in the running soon, too... :D Those boots are pretty sweet, I must say.

YOU DIDN'T EXERCISE SELF CONTROL! FOR SHAME. Hahaha. Your presents sound awesome so far. If you don't post before then, I hope you have a fantastic birthday.
